Rolvedon

Dosage and Administration, Administration (

Rolvedon is indicated to decrease the incidence of infection, as manifested by febrile neutropenia, in adult patients with non-myeloid malignancies receiving myelosuppressive anti-cancer drugs associated with clinically significant incidence of febrile neutropenia.

Rolvedon is not indicated for the mobilization of peripheral blood progenitor cells for hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.

• •Recommended Dose: 13.2 mg administered subcutaneously once per chemotherapy cycle. (
  2.1 Recommended Dosage

  The recommended dosage of Rolvedon is a single subcutaneous injection of 13.2 mg administered once per chemotherapy cycle. Administer approximately 24 hours after cytotoxic chemotherapy. Do not administer within the period from 14 days before to 24 hours after administration of cytotoxic chemotherapy.

Injection: 13.2 mg/0.6 mL as a clear, colorless, preservative-free solution in a single-dose prefilled syringe.

There are no available data on Rolvedon use in pregnant women; however, data from published studies with use of other recombinant human granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (rhG-CSF) products in pregnant women have not identified any drug-associated risk of major birth defects, miscarriage or adverse maternal or fetal outcomes.

Animal reproduction studies were conducted in rats and rabbits. In rats, eflapegrastim-xnst did not adversely affect embryofetal and/or postnatal development when administered from organogenesis throughout lactation at doses that produced maternal exposures up to 7 times the exposure at the recommended clinical dose. In rabbits, eflapegrastim-xnst caused embryofetal lethality and reduced fetal weight when administered during the organogenesis period at approximately 6 times the exposure at the clinical dose

The estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated population is unknown. All pregnancies have a background risk of birth defect, loss, or other adverse outcomes. In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risks of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2-4% and 15-20%, respectively.

In an embryofetal developmental study in rabbits, eflapegrastim-xnst was administered subcutaneously every other day during the period of organogenesis at doses up to 10 times the clinical exposure at the maximum recommended dose of 13.2 mg. Increased post-implantation loss, reduced number of live fetuses, and reduced fetal body weights were observed at 6 times the clinical exposure, based on AUC. No malformations were observed up to 10 times the clinical exposure, based on AUC.

In an embryofetal developmental study in rats, eflapegrastim-xnst administered subcutaneously every other day during the period of organogenesis did not adversely affect embryofetal development at doses up to 7 times clinical exposure, based on AUC.

In a pre- and post-natal development study in rats, eflapegrastim-xnst administered subcutaneously once weekly from organogenesis through lactation did not adversely affect behavioral, developmental, or reproductive parameters at doses up to 7 times the clinical exposure, based on AUC.
